The game is mainly two-dimensional, although in many missions, the
player can walk to other planes via pathways or stairs. There are ten
levels and three difficulty modes: Beginner, Medium, and Herculean. The
last two levels are playable only on Medium and Herculean difficulties.
There are three rush levels in the game in which the player must run
forward through the map and avoid obstacles without being able to stop
or fight. The player's health is measured in the energy bar shown in the
upper left corner for normal levels or bottom left for rush levels. The
energy bar can be increased by picking up Hercules Action Figures and
the energy can be replenished by drinking Herculade cups found
throughout the game. The player's main weapon is the sword, although he
can also punch, but this is a much more difficult way to defeat enemies.
Weapon powerups, known as Gifts of the Gods, can be found throughout
the game, consisting of the Lightning Sword (shoots lightning any
direction Hercules aims when selected and fired), Fireball Sword (shoots
fireballs that seek out onscreen enemies when selected and fired), and
the Sonic Sword (affects enemy targets at close range with a circular
sonic blast when selected and fired). There is also an invincibility
powerup, found in the game in the form of a helmet, which grants the
player a few seconds of invulnerability when activated.
